The creation of the "James Brown, The Godfather of Soul" website has been the result of hard work and dedication from many individuals who honor the achievements and philanthropic acts of Mr. James Brown. The purpose of the site is to showcase the numerous sides of Mr. Brown - his mind, heart, body and soul. The site also provides one-of-a-kind offerings to support the demands of Mr. Brown's fans.

The fans have been actively involved in the creation of this site - in selecting the graphical design, photos and overall presentation. The James Brown International Fan Club and its President, Ms. Mae Collins, provided valuable time and feedback while the site was being created. Ms. Collins facilitated the review of numerous site designs with the International Fan Club Board.

She also gathered feedback from other groups of fans around the Oakland, California area, the home base for the James Brown International Fan Club. Overall, this site was built by the fans and for the fans.

The development of this website was sponsored by financial agents for Mr. James Brown. The design and functionality was created by IBM and the Centers for e-business Innovation in Atlanta, GA.
